This would be the first time I have ever met little Lucy because it has been about 15 years since I saw Laura. On my next trip to Denver I hope to meet the rest of her children and get the whole family together for a session, but this one was just for Mommy and Lucy. Lucy was ready to go out and have some fun and before I could ask her to take off her shoes so that I could get those little toes in the photos, she sat down and said “I want to take my shoes off”. Perfect. We met at the beautiful St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder and then walked to a nearby park. Lucy was full of endless energy and giggles 🙂 At the end of our session, Lucy mentioned that she wanted to pick a flower. We walked back to St. Julian and it was all Lucy could do to JUST sniff the flowers and not pick. “Why can’t I pick them?” she asked.
When we went inside I found some amazing light by the windows and wanted to finish off with a few photos inside St. Julian. Well, what do we see? More flowers right there on the table that we were taking photos next to. So I decided to get one of them out of the vase and let her hold it. The photos of her sniffing the flower was priceless!! Her crinkled up nose made me laugh.
Thank you Laura & Lucy for allowing me to capture a few special moments between you two. I hope to see you all again real soon! I miss Colorado already.

Thank you for stopping by!

After living in Colorado for a total of 9 years, I feel like it is a second home and one that I miss very much. The Moore’s are moving to Austin, Texas really soon and it was an honor to be able to capture their family in the setting that they love the most, the mountains. Rick has been a long time friend that I knew when I was in the corporate world and this was the first time I have seen him in over 15 years! This was also the first time that I got to meet his awesome wife Diana and their three beautiful children, Grant, Will and Reagan. Their children simply melted my heart with their big blue eyes, smiles and abundant energy!! It was really windy out which made it rather chilly, but everyone was up for the challenge.
We met at Estes Park and went to some of their favorite locations. One spot was very important as Rick kept telling Diana that he had to have Longs Peak in the background of a family photo…it was a must 🙂 No pressure on the photographer right?
I wish I had the entire day to spend with the Moore’s to play and take photos at various locations, there is just not a bad spot out there!
Please enjoy a few of the posted images and a slideshow highlighting the session.

Thank you for stopping by!
